(Though it should be noted that James, hat still engulfing his head, has little by little scooted himself closer to Doc, to the point he's very nearly in his lap.)
The children are completely taken by him as he regales them with tales of the city, eyes wide like saucers and little mouths hanging ajar in wonderment. They 'ooh' and 'aah' and laugh along as he paints the picture of New York livin', pestering him with dozens of little questions at every opportunity. More than once Katherine has to remind them to mind their manners.
Though to be honest, when he describes the Statue he's never even seen completed, and the subway, and the steamships that roll through the harbor, she finds herself just as rapt and eager to ask questions.
"The sixth floor?"
"Wow!"
"Amazing!"
"That's a lot of stairs!"
"Twenty!"
"No, a hundred!"
"Fifty! Fifty!"
Every child has an answer, and every one is a little different.
